The Cult of Personalities
Key recruits: “Yea we had some”
Best Recruits: “COP only brings in the best recruits, duh”
The Cult of Personalities, aka COP enter WL for the first time S20 from SEAPL. Owned by MGood030 Co Owned by Loco Moco they spent 3 SEAPL seasons and out. “Not bad for a team that still has 20 players with boosts left”. Their team name is “a symbol of who we are, and what we're about.”
“Many people have been here since Level 1. BP, Loco Moco, and Vladkins have historically been the brain trust of COP with me.”
The team is led by vladykins Guard “Bacon Donut, though we have multiple award winners on offense, defense, and special teams. BP’s HB Rusty Pickle is a multi-time MVP”
The best named player on the team is LB Darren McDragon Does Dudes..but only because it's true.”
COP “had quite a few cornerbacks go into decline, and we lost four players from Geekor, but we were able to replace everyone.”
COP team owner MGood030 wants his team to improve at “Finding Hobo and for bort to fix the passing game tbh”
Their team forums are “active as shit” and require good poasting. “Stale fucks seek employment elsewhere.” Team agents are active “trollers predicting demotion” but team owner MGood030 is more optimistic “29-0 counting scrimmages” Cult of Personalities generally feel “You're all boostfags”
Milwaukee Juggernauts
Key Recruits: ROT Cameron Goodspeed and LDE Jarrod Featherstone since they’re “positions that have been traditionally hard to fill”
Players to Watch: LB Clothes Liner, WR The Deceiver, HB YAA BOY, SS A.J. Jefferson and LB Sky King.
The Juggernauts are owned by Favre4DaWin and shocked SLAP last season by entering the playoffs as the #7 seed and advanced to the WL for their first time ever. They only spent 2 seasons in the pros. Their team owner is from Wisconsin and someone on the team suggested Juggernauts hence their team name.
The team “merged with the Hudson Bay Horrors in season 18 whose owner, and Co-Owner were GrandMasterC, and Bluehaze respectivly, so about half of our recruits came from them from what was left of our farm team, and one from myself, but the rest came from agents already on the team or FA.” Lots of team success is tied to “:First, and foremost its Ratphlegm. He's been the heart, and soul of this team for several seasons, and when we needed an OC, and STC he stepped in, and did stellar job at both (still does ST's). Bluehaze, and GrandmasterC have a ton of players. The newest addition is our OC AlBarsch who stepped in, and righted our offensive ship last season.” JackBeQuick has also been “very helpful with finding players, and helping with random team related stuff.”
Their pro run was highlighted by a particularly strong defense and team agent retskcuhc’s SLAP defensive MVP LB Clothes Liner. The LB had back to back 3 FF games en route to the title game. This is the first run through the ranks for the team. “Never been demoted, or gutted etc. . .We've only missed the play-offs twice in our 12 (I think 12) seasons once was our first year when I had no ownership, or coordinator experience, and neither did my main agents, and once when we were in a 30 something elite we went 8 n 8, and missed. We won Silver in AAA to get to pro, and now Silver to get the WL, but never the Elusive gold.
The Juggernaut’s are “really excited as most of us don't have WL experience” and ready to “get this shit underway!”
Nashville Hounds
Key Recruits: HB Super Elusive, LOT with Randall Stevens, LB Vince Jet III, LB Vince Jet Jr
The Hounds enter their 6th season in the WL. Owner wsdp has added a new OC Jdg45 to replace former OC WiSeIVIaN. Nashville has been over .500 in their WL seasons going 42-38 (0-3 in playoffs)
Their staff also includes ghuffman at DC who has been there since S9 and co owner/ build guru/ farm system manager ijg. They also still have head coach flames54.
The Hounds are “an original season 1 team
Biting legs for 19 seasons with no mergers, no drop downs, no mercy".
They have 6 current farm teams helping sustain WL seasons.
S20 the Hounds look to be strong at “Offensive Line & Linebackers” “We're a balance group but with new DPC, I don't think we're going to have a true super star on defense and we had alot of offensive turnover so I'm not sure where to look there either.”
Some of the holes to replace on offense will be owner wsdp’s Break Tackle WR Raymond The Ray II and Veg’s WR Mike "I.R.S." Rotunda. They also have some Adderfist dots to replace. “ His 2 DEs and 2 CBs to MEM. The DEs we brought in are comparable, the CBs have some big shoes to fill....”
Owner wsdp predicts a 9-7 season, “I guess that makes us the baseball equivalent of a AAAA (4A) team.”
Providence Radicals
New recruits: “Heresto14 brought over 3 of his guys from Hub, and they are all great builds.”
Players to watch: QB Fed Hill, HB Rocky Point, WR Vince Chambers, DE Davis Lanier, LB Mayor Cianci, KR/PR Henry Hassenfeld
The Radicals make their return trip to WL after they spent 3 seasons in the WL before having a roster turnover and dropping down to CPL. They were stuck in the pros longer than desired thanks to the bottleneck known as S18 CPLwest. Teams included Jebs imo, S19 WL zeta winner Meese and the Radicals. The Radicals did get back to their original CPLeast for S19 and breezed through with a 19-1 record with their only loss to 20-0 super pro team Jebediah’s Oblong Ball Club.
Providence owner Pariah is “from Rhode Island, and lived in Providence for a good amount of time. We were originally the Revolutionaries back in the day, but I like the shortened Radicals, and as a history buff, and a fan of the Revolutionary War, the name is dedicated to the Radicals that fought in the Revolution and helped build America.”
S20 looks to be good unless they gut. “Gutting is always a concern when you have rage like I do.” The team is a collection of Owner Pariah, co owner Donovan Tatum and Head Coach Jdbolick. “Donovan Tatum who builds great dots, and most of all Bolick. In all seriousness this team would suck without him, he has input on all the builds, completely runs the defense, and is a part of almost every decision we make. Great Agent, and great dotballer.”
They have an ad on Craigslist looking for an OC. “We need an upgrade there immediately.” They do have some dots with endorsements who are players to watch. Pariah’s LB Mayor Cianci and chrisko KR Henry Hassenfeld both have corporate endorsements. “It is cool to watch the Sacker Backer (Cianci) clone at work.”
Providence was the top ranked pro team in NiborRis rankings finishing at 6th overall. However, “Zeta is top heavy this season, the Blaze are always one of the strongest if not the strongest rosters in the game, MPHD is a great team, Moose is coming off a silver trophy S19, the Navigators are sick, the Gurupies are a contender, Osaka is strong, and upside down Gart will bounce back...WHY DID YOU ASK THAT QUESTION, I NOW REALIZE WE ARE SCREWED!!!”
Finally, “Don't eat yellow snow with a blue spoon.”
The Osaka Buckeyes
New Recruits: Quite a few recruits...we signed 19 younger/better dots. Our WRs should be better with Toon, Mudbug and Nino coming in. We might have some defensive stars in DT Baron Dietrich Von Oberlitzer and Pass Rushing LB littering and. Quite a few great dots though.
Osaka has become one of the elite SLAP representatives along with MPHD entering their 4th consecutive WL seasons despite “last 3 season each season was in the toughest conference evah! and we were predicted to demote.” They had a “58 game winning streak in season 5-7” along the way up to WL.
S20 Osaka looks to replace former stars “Stanley Rope to retirement...SAPL MVP as a NT and Selfish Gene...fast WR prolly our best WR for 5 seasons.”
Owner 5STAR, Co owner TyrannyVaunt (aka “Tranny”), OC: sigepmagicmike, ElvisTCB and “hsk” are the main agents on the team controlling their AI.
RBs “Marion Barber III known for his “big runs” and Ron Chelmsford are players to watch along with ...”quite a few dots on the brink depending on the SIM”
5STAR believes their team strength is the D. “Defense. TBH we sucked on offense and special teams last season and it cost us some games. If I can get this group moving the ball we will be tough.” The offense looks to improve with additions at WR. Brardor WR Blanco Niño and ryan_grant-25 WR Nick Toon #1 should help this cause.
“We might have some defensive stars in DT Baron Dietrich Von Oberlitzer and Pass Rushing LB littering and. Quite a few great dots though.”
Osaka has a few concerns like “Early season chemistry and finishing games. We had games decided in the 4th vs Blaze, MHPD, HHWC and we failed to finish them” but look for them to be able to navigate through Zeta.
Honolulu Hurricane Wife Carriers
Key Recruits: fbfan's WR TO Time and tjking's WR Judeau Judo, cjx's DE Precious Pony and JoeBarber FS Lemme Holla and blitzing LB So Mag.
Owner ufshowboat and HHWC celebrated their 3rd consecutive WL championship last season. Their 3rd title was “extra special” since they were not fully prepared for S19 sim. “Season 19 saw pretty big sim changes. HHWC played Season 19 with a team built for Season 17-18. We built the team not expecting those huge changes so I think we were really at a disadvantage in terms of the type of personnel we had vs other top teams. That made the 3rd WL gold pretty special. So this season we'll balance out and hopefully be more ready for whatever the bortsim can throw at us.”
They were able to reload for S20 and adapt by adding 2 YAC WRs in TO Time and Judeau Judo. They also dipped into their farm team Three Kingdom Warriors for upgrades. “HHWC has brought in some youth to replace some older players that will now start to decline. A lot of the youth was pulled from TKW and the first season decliners were swapped back to TKW. TKW is our secondary team which accidentally made WL by winning seapl gold. TKW should have a shot at the WL playoffs though as they are comprised of young future HHWC dots mixed with first season decline ex-HHWC dots. TKW is more of a fun team with nothin to lose while HHWC is our super serious team that must win the WL every season or else it's seen as a failure. Having a mix of fun and serious in the WL will make for an interesting year. Both teams have a long history in the WL. Most people know about HHWC now thanks to recent success but TKW has 45+ WL wins and was once a WL championship contender as well. Should be fun season.”
The back to back to back champs still have HurricaneWarriors HB Frank Wang who had over 800 all purpose yards during last seasons playoffs and Joebarber HB Zata Ran who had 100 and a touch in the title game. Ufshowboat feels HHWC has “fantastic offensive line” to open holes for the beast RBs.
The champs aren’t all offense. Their “defense also plays as whole and we really don't feature anybody specific. On bad days we had some problems tackling but most of our moves this offseason were made to really improve any tackling issues.”
The road to WL gold goes through HHWC and LB Dick Wang as it has for the last 3 seasons.
South Otto Fragile Porcelain Mice
Key Recruits: Rooftrellen The Treant Protector (LT), Jessius Camarc, Mitridates de Ponto, White Tomas (DT's), Alec Hardison, Locke M. Down, (CB's), Mean Gene Okerlund (FS).
South Otto are back in WL representing USApro after finishing 20-0 S19. “We were up here in S13 with a team in decline. We tried to re-do the entire roster that off-season and it did not go well. This time we're brings a core that's been together as dots for 12 seasons.”
They have been on WL brink for a few seasons, “It was fun and frustrating. We made the conf. champ game 3 straight years.”
Owner OC mbinger and DC/Co owner nexill, voodeaux does special teams, phoenixstrike does some scouting, and lardaddy keeps us in line. The Mice feel like “We have a great group of agents that have been very supportive.” driftin079 builder of HB Sally Jesse Raphael is the team work horse. “She's one sexy dot.”
The story behind their team name, “I used to work in a small town in NC called Otto (pop. about 750), I lived on the South side. Nexill (my co-owner) found the Fragile Porcelain Mice name from a David Letterman top 10 list for rejected NFL team names from when the Panthers and Jags came into the league. We loved it, so there you go.”
South Otto had to replace a few former stars. “We said goodbye to some very good dots this offseason: Art Shell (LT), Matt Papara (DT). Reggie Kinlaw (DT), Monster Taco (DT), Knockthe Passdown (CB), Randolph Childress (FS) to retirement. We didn't lose anyone this season to other teams.”
Their main concern “Other than being in HHWC's conference?” However, owner mbinger is looking for a playoff game S20.
Carthage Mad Clash
New Recruits: “I think we have about 40”
Best Recruit: “We landed an SLZ dot called hustlers can't pimp”
The Mad Clash enter S20 with a nearly completely turned over roster. They “lost nearly 40. all of them were good.” Owner hays23 saw his team make the playoffs the past 3 seasons. He gives credit to “badgerbacker is responsible for all of our successes and failures.” The team has enjoyed WL success and their team forums reflect that. “i think we had three threads last season.” The agents have been lighting up the team forum this off season as well. “we don't have any new threads yet.”
S20 Carthage hopes to improve “our punting average” and looks to take advantage of their team strength: “people probably don't take us seriously so maybe they don't game plan for us.” Hays23 is excited for crazy454 DE I .Eat QB's who should “have a monster season.”
If the Clash can avoid early losses via chemistry they should be able to avoid demotion as they have shown more than capable already.
Rhode Island Red Wolves
New Recruits: CB Nighthawk and a few solid STers and owner cwrujosh players.
The Red Wolves enter WL for their first time after “pulling a Patriots.” S19 going 19-1.
Owner cwrujosh and Malvado run the team. The strength of their team is “ Defense” led by their standout DE Uno Umenyiora. “Uno is a back to back D MVP of USAPL.”
They also brought STs MVP KR Howard Desmonds to WL.
The Wolves won’t be doing much smack talk in WL forums. “I don't discuss games, win or lose, publically.”
Their team name is also unique. “Wanted a team name from a place nobody used, but in the North of the country. I like the way it rolls off the tounge.”
So Cal BDC
Best Recruits: RB Lawrence Phillips, WR Mr. Ocho Ocho, WR Julio, DE So Thugnificent, CB Dennis Rodman, FS "Fast Eddie" Felson
So Cal has been in WL every season except S13. RyanCane26 LB Jimmy Patterson “was S19 WL MVP but did not get the endorsement.” They also have Hokiemon LB Sweet Child O' Mine who had 29 sacks himself. So Cal is notorious for blitzing. However, “blitzing can leave us exposed. Offense can sputter at times.”
If So Cal is going to take the next step from being a perennial WL playoff team to championship contenders they’ll need “Offense - specifically more big plays”
The story of their team name is “It's simple and to the point. Simply put, its an organization for the non well endowed.”
They said goodbye to a few players including: “Retired: FS Rich Miano, HB Craig "Ironhead" Heyward, FB Ray Doungaet, CB Carl Criams.”
However, “No new DPC = good for BDC” DC Jdros is one of the best blitzing DC's in GLB history.
The team is mainly comprised of “shutd0wn, jdros13, GregB, patrickthedookie, viking65, xcoach2 has a lot of dots again, Nalvest has had a lot of dots in the past couple of seasons but some have retired. For most agents this is not their first or only dot on BDC.”
Fans of BDC can visit their site:.”BDC every so often publishes funny videos outlining their history on their team's website http://www.socalbdc.com.”
Owner shutd0wn is asking the usual question for his team: “Do we have enough firepower on offense” to overtake HHWC. Look for “BDC! Throw it up!”
Chocolate Blaze
New Recruits: “Andre Johnson, TJ kings Kicker, homages super star linebacker, saris's OFB who is the best player in the game , and crazys rushing qb, STers”
Chocolate Blaze owner Dpride59 S20 plan: “win” He feels confident they have a chance at “20-0” after signing Saris FB Mac Olsen “who is the best player in the game.” They also beefed up their WRs with Drew Brees’ S19 Zeta Offensive WL runner up Andre Johnson™ and fbfan18’s WR Cool as the Other Side of the Pillow. QB Malik Rose retained his WL corporate endorsement as well. They also still have the explosive threats of Saris TE Sean Dane and Dpride59 HB Michael Jordan.
The Defense only saw a few changes including: Homage LB Public Pervert and Beeerad37 CB Action Johnny.
The Blaze do have some weaknesses concerning Dpride59 including “Oline jumping” and “Bort doesn't start the season until April, and the playoffs coincide with my trip in may to Tahiti.”
Warsaw Wrath
New Recruits: “We brought in a lot of new blood. A number of JStu's players, and some other guys too.”
The Wrath hope to “Straight up make the playoffs” S20. “The conferences seem to be much more even compared to S19. Hopefully that translates into a few more W's for us.”
They added a few players to their squad. Jstu LB Jack Lambert Stuart and beeerad37 C Tiny Attorney are some of their standouts. They also added DC Kanaan. The core of the Wrath agents include: “slappdogg, Loonzilla, Beeerad37, carbene, JStu, , Kaanan, and kswass.”
Owner glwarriors said, “We merged with slapp's team the Drunk's a few seasons ago, and have managed to stay in or near WL for some time now, and usually land someone in or near the top 10 in WL/PL rankings every season.”
Special teams is both a strength and weakness for Warsaw. Owner glwarriors thinks their punter “Haden Foote - he is going to win us some games.” And kswass KR O Dogg has an endorsement from EEPL. However, “we have no STOP's this season” which is an area glwarriors wishes they were stronger in.
Mentone Beach Assault
New Recruits: QB - Drew Brees, HB - Kendal Hunter, FB - Red "Smashmouth", C - Nick Brophy, G - I AM A BANANA, G - Bowlegged Bushwick Bill, TE - Mr. Plow ThatsMyName, LB - Gary 'In Your Face' Gnu, CB - Jet Black Machine, FS - Seven Seconds
Mentone Beach Assault make their first WL trip after avenging their 2 WEPL regular season losses by significant margins. They lost to the Boston Punks 44-24 and Rotterdam Roughnecks 66-10 but did a 180 during the playoffs crushing them as payback.
Owned by sanmantodd he name his team after “I live in the city of Mentone Beach; however, everyone thinks we're the Beach Assault.” “The core of the team is still together when we started the team back in Season 8.”
Some standout players are sanmantodd’s DE Jared Viking #69 and Dmac2008 DE Ren © and HB Mick Gillicutty . They’re excited about the additions of QB Drew Brees and HB Kendal Hunter. They did lose QB Alexander Orion and hope to improve on passing and have less fumbles from our KR.
Overall WL “You won't even know we're here.” and “We fear no one!”
C-Town MF'n Hood
Best Recruits: Reggie Bush, Wicket W. Warrick, Cato Maddock, You Can Only Hope to Contain Me
C-Town MF’n Hood are back in WL for their second try. S19 in EEPL owner Lemdog said, “We lol'ed reg season and went Hood on fools in playoffs.” Hood lost “Fred Lane, scat HB due to decline” but added scat back Reggie Bush to replace him. Some other players to watch: Ubasstards WR Drunken Basstards, Dmac2008’s RB McFadden ©, jrockk33’s HB Bernard "A-Game" Mitchell, Ubasstards’s LB Jessie Armstead #98.
Hood wanted to add some studs at WR and “done did it.”
Co Owner JTsNiners is excited about his first WL season. “I'm going to try to stick our fucking E-peen so far up everyone's ass they will see our shaft with the naked eye as it exits their mouth. That's a promise, fuck everyone. We're sticking and I'm going to make damn sure when they play against us they're going to say damn, that HOOD squad is BOSS. FUCK EVERYONE THAT LINES UP AGAINST US”
Expect “lots of HOOD” on the forums if you haven’t already noticed.
Three Kingdom Warriors
New Recruits: “brought in more youth to TKW this season by way of the great fbfan18 who we know from way back. We also brought in more youth from good builders like MeatDawk and LoCoElf. However, most of the recruits on TKW are not young guys, they are first season decline dots from HHWC.”
Three Kingdom Warriors aka “kinda HHWC 2.0” are the S19 SEAPL champions and return to WL. They could prove to be a matchup nightmare since “they got nothing to lose.”
This offense features 5 rushers who can all attack from any direction whether in be inside, outside, or via receptions. That threat should also open up the passing game (for QB Chris Leak). So I don't think it will be fun to defend a team like this with nothing to lose and weapons to play with. The defense is led by a nasty front 4 which was very fun to watch last season and I think the secondary should also be a bright spot this season.
Their rushers will be led by PML97 QB _Denard Robinson_, Thunder66 HB COCO > LENO, Joebarber HB AWESOMO 5000, ufshowboat HB J Demps and evesong FB Alstott Wang.
The defense is led by a “nasty front 4 which was very fun to watch last season and I think the secondary should also be a bright spot this season.” Cide DE Lanny Barbie and cjx DE Impakt Device, fbfan18 DE Epic End and datongw DE Yan Yan combined for over 90 sacks.
Overall, “even though a bunch of these guys will be in decline, I think they can still hang and will surprise a few teams” according to HHWC owner ufshowboat.
Jebediah's Oblong Ball Club
New Recruits: HB Sir Lollipop Man, CB Deion "Prime- Time" Sanders and a ST scrub
Jebediah’s Oblong Ball Club (aka Jebs imo) team name is because owner avgbrad “i'm amish”. His team went 20-0 in one of the most anticipated pro matchups when his 19-0 CPL powerhouse matched up against then 19-0 Providence Radicals in the CPL final. OC guru Gturtle called a special 4th and 13 play he had been saving for the playoffs. http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1508550&pbp_id=14547695 “I'm the best OC of all time.” “(did we win by a lot?)” 1. “Oh hey, look at how clutch I am.”
Owner avgbrad built nearly the entire roster himself. Only a few spots he forgot to make or rageretired have been replaced along the way with inferior builds. The team features HB Eric Torkelson and QB Tobin Rote. They did replace Superstar RB + 10 with Sir Lollipop Man for S20. For giggles, owner avgbrad “i watch the OL and lol”

Moose Jaw Roughriders
Key Recruits:
HB (scat) Casca Kyasuka - tjking82
DT Warren Carlos Sapp - whatje
DE Duck the other DE - avgbrad
LB Jonathan Malkin - sidvicious
more dimmy dots
Meese came back into WL S19 after spending one year in the rugged CPLwest and immediately made their presence felt. They opened the season with a monster win against Machu Pichu Hidden Dragons, a pre season favorite amongst the public. Meese made their presence felt and continued success all the way to their first WL conference championship.
Moose Jaw Roughriders “started in Canada BBB, the story has something to do with all the CFL teams that were named Roughriders so we thought we'd carry on the tradition. Moose jaw is a city in canada, real original there!” Now they’re just kind of nicknamed as Meese U Ded.
S20 Meese look to navigate the tough Zeta conference and hope to “improve on a conference winning season. I suppose we'd like to win it all this time around!” But they’re kind of expecting a “10-6” season.
They dipped into their usual team owner dimmy finster dots and also added former Saigon Whore Scat back Casca Kyasuka. They also still have seahawks3726 HB Damion Johnson who was a WL top 10 rusher S19. “Watching this dot spin, and juke and fake all over the place is a lot of fun and very exciting!”
They did say goodbye to longtime team stars HB dimmy finster Jr. and WR Smallstar Seaworthy. However, key contributors including LB Polly Fish (2nd most conference deflections and 2nd most zeta tackles) returns and DE The Crane Kick who SLZMonster calls their team superstar.
Overall, Meese expect to be able to avoid demotion despite landing in Zeta. “I don't think making the play offs will be a problem, but navigating our way through them is gonna be difficult for sure.”
Odessa Mojo
Players to watch: Zeta world league offensive and defensive mvps HB Charley Young, CB Sebastian Buckley, TE Badger Beckum, HB Felix Jones-MVP
Odessa stormed into WL and surprised the public by being the number 1 seed heading into the S19 playoffs. They buried teams with WL leading rusher Charley Young on the ground. He was by far and away the WL leading rusher and became Zeta Offensive MVP. In fact only Tony Sanders (S13) has had more single season rushing yards than Charley Young did last season. This season with a corporate endorsement Young may push for the all time record.
Defensively Odessa wasn’t bad either. Their CB Sebastian Buckley also had a monster year. He led the entire WL in sacks at 62. Buckley also won the corporate endorsement which will only make Odessa that much more of a threat to continue their success.
Odessa did add some players for S20, most notably: HB Spring Heeled Mack WR Heaven Scent LB Griffith Gurifisu who gives Odessa D another blitzing threat.
Team owner hickster97200 credits “several agents that make it easier on the rest of the team are PP, Badgerbacker, tonnyrat, hays 23. they are the wheels on the car that keep it rolling.”
”Top team of the Dotbal Syndicate. Three quarters of the team has has been rebuilt to provide the best dots making Odessa the top of the food chain. . We feel this combo of players that have been assembled will make noise more this season than last. Although we played in Zeta which was the weaker of the 2 conferences we still came up in 1st place our first WL season despite the (EEPRO)criticism and feel this year we will knock the door down.”We will do our best to go further than the second round of the playoffs this season!”
Expect Odessa to be strong contenders in Alpha S20.
District 9 Prawns
D9 is back in WL after a 19-1 demolition of APL during S19. They defeated WWR 19-0 at the time and 18-0 Canton Immortals during their playoff run.
The team enters S20 with major roster overhaul. Technically, they’re the farm team or B team to their networked team Odessa Mojo. D9 owner, PP said “everyone wanted to go to Odessa, since they all believe MadMustaff is a far better owner than I...Amazing how big of a difference having owner and co owner being swapped on the 2 teams matters to agents. It's sad, really, since MadMustaff is a raging alcoholic and all.”
D9 is looking to catch opponents off guard this season. “We are making a commitment to get our blocking FBs & blocking TE more touches this ssn”
The team is networked through their Dotball Syndicate structure. D9 owner PP says they have good camaraderie and their “private forum is about as active as any in the game.”
PP used to own USPL's Green Bay Maulers. “We got to be a top 5 team in the game, but I wasn't enjoying the game anymore for a variety of reasons. Took a couple ssns off to work as a build consultant on a bunch of teams (thanks to all of you guys, seriously, that was a blast...you know who you all were (coughGartAlloyCVHavocPTAndSeveralMoreThatEscapeMecough)
I then got an idea to create a team of agents. We'd all just build our own dots and do almost no recruiting. Bough a team from one of them in the AA Africa, tossed our shit, declining dots on the team and sent blind offers to fill the roster. No intentions of winning, just killing 8-9 ssns until our dots got decent enough to start really playing...and somehow won our way to APL. 2nd ssn there, we decided to actually try. I recruited, we GPed and won APL that ssn. Since many of the agents from the Cincy Shockers system were also in ours, we merged that ssn too, I believe. Ssn 18, I knew I wouldn't be around for most of ssn 19. So, we dropped back to APL and shifted to farm team status until most likely ssn 21.”
If D9 is going to get revenge on the 3 time champs it’s going to have to be in the WL finals. “should have beat HHWC in the POs in ssn 17, 34-7 going into the 2nd half, until the sim decided to keep calling deep passes at a disgustingly skewed rate and handed them 32458934 ints and 34598673938247598342 points to mount one of the more impressive comebacks/choke jobs I've seen. hat tip to HHWC”
Korb Destroyers
Key Recruits: bhall43 CB Capitonas Hallzi and from the other new players we expect real big things from team owner disastermaster WR Michael Floyd, skippyjlo DT Igot Middle,
Korb will be entering their 6th WL season. Team owner Disastermaster actually lives in Korb. “I´m living in Korb and I´m almost perfect in detryoing everything, so the team name was a logical choice.”
S20 Korb looks to be even stronger than their S19 team. “no big losses, all players that are new are better than the ones they replaced.” Korb has one of the larger networks in GLB. “Recruited 2 players, all other positons did go to network players.” “Top farm team are Nordic Skulls in WL, than 5 Pro league farm teams and over 30 farm teams in total.”
“OC Skullkrusher is now in full charge of the Offense, that means I don´t touch our AI and there are no mistakes in it. At Defense Rusty is in full command and for the most part we don´t know what he is doing, but it works.”
S20 Korb will be led by “MLB Peter Atkinson who won WL awards as 2nd leading tackler and 3rd most intereceptions last season, Hb Scoundrel and DE BEWARE OF SHAMWOW IMITATORS.”
Sonic HB Dirty Rotten Scoundrel is a big play waiting to happen. “Everytime he touches the ball there is a possible big play.”
Korb is hoping to win a playoff game S20 and maybe more. “Make the step from top 8 to the top 4 in our conference in regular season and winning a playoff game.”

The Cult of Personalities
Key recruits: “Yea we had some”
Best Recruits: “COP only brings in the best recruits, duh”
The Cult of Personalities, aka COP enter WL for the first time S20 from SEAPL. Owned by MGood030 Co Owned by Loco Moco they spent 3 SEAPL seasons and out. “Not bad for a team that still has 20 players with boosts left”. Their team name is “a symbol of who we are, and what we're about.”
“Many people have been here since Level 1. BP, Loco Moco, and Vladkins have historically been the brain trust of COP with me.”
The team is led by vladykins Guard “Bacon Donut, though we have multiple award winners on offense, defense, and special teams. BP’s HB Rusty Pickle is a multi-time MVP”
The best named player on the team is LB Darren McDragon Does Dudes..but only because it's true.”
COP “had quite a few cornerbacks go into decline, and we lost four players from Geekor, but we were able to replace everyone.”
COP team owner MGood030 wants his team to improve at “Finding Hobo and for bort to fix the passing game tbh”
Their team forums are “active as shit” and require good poasting. “Stale fucks seek employment elsewhere.” Team agents are active “trollers predicting demotion” but team owner MGood030 is more optimistic “29-0 counting scrimmages” Cult of Personalities generally feel “You're all boostfags”
Milwaukee Juggernauts
Key Recruits: ROT Cameron Goodspeed and LDE Jarrod Featherstone since they’re “positions that have been traditionally hard to fill”
Players to Watch: LB Clothes Liner, WR The Deceiver, HB YAA BOY, SS A.J. Jefferson and LB Sky King.
The Juggernauts are owned by Favre4DaWin and shocked SLAP last season by entering the playoffs as the #7 seed and advanced to the WL for their first time ever. They only spent 2 seasons in the pros. Their team owner is from Wisconsin and someone on the team suggested Juggernauts hence their team name.
The team “merged with the Hudson Bay Horrors in season 18 whose owner, and Co-Owner were GrandMasterC, and Bluehaze respectivly, so about half of our recruits came from them from what was left of our farm team, and one from myself, but the rest came from agents already on the team or FA.” Lots of team success is tied to “:First, and foremost its Ratphlegm. He's been the heart, and soul of this team for several seasons, and when we needed an OC, and STC he stepped in, and did stellar job at both (still does ST's). Bluehaze, and GrandmasterC have a ton of players. The newest addition is our OC AlBarsch who stepped in, and righted our offensive ship last season.” JackBeQuick has also been “very helpful with finding players, and helping with random team related stuff.”
Their pro run was highlighted by a particularly strong defense and team agent retskcuhc’s SLAP defensive MVP LB Clothes Liner. The LB had back to back 3 FF games en route to the title game. This is the first run through the ranks for the team. “Never been demoted, or gutted etc. . .We've only missed the play-offs twice in our 12 (I think 12) seasons once was our first year when I had no ownership, or coordinator experience, and neither did my main agents, and once when we were in a 30 something elite we went 8 n 8, and missed. We won Silver in AAA to get to pro, and now Silver to get the WL, but never the Elusive gold.
The Juggernaut’s are “really excited as most of us don't have WL experience” and ready to “get this shit underway!”
Nashville Hounds
Key Recruits: HB Super Elusive, LOT with Randall Stevens, LB Vince Jet III, LB Vince Jet Jr
The Hounds enter their 6th season in the WL. Owner wsdp has added a new OC Jdg45 to replace former OC WiSeIVIaN. Nashville has been over .500 in their WL seasons going 42-38 (0-3 in playoffs)
Their staff also includes ghuffman at DC who has been there since S9 and co owner/ build guru/ farm system manager ijg. They also still have head coach flames54.
The Hounds are “an original season 1 team
Biting legs for 19 seasons with no mergers, no drop downs, no mercy".
They have 6 current farm teams helping sustain WL seasons.
S20 the Hounds look to be strong at “Offensive Line & Linebackers” “We're a balance group but with new DPC, I don't think we're going to have a true super star on defense and we had alot of offensive turnover so I'm not sure where to look there either.”
Some of the holes to replace on offense will be owner wsdp’s Break Tackle WR Raymond The Ray II and Veg’s WR Mike "I.R.S." Rotunda. They also have some Adderfist dots to replace. “ His 2 DEs and 2 CBs to MEM. The DEs we brought in are comparable, the CBs have some big shoes to fill....”
Owner wsdp predicts a 9-7 season, “I guess that makes us the baseball equivalent of a AAAA (4A) team.”
Providence Radicals
New recruits: “Heresto14 brought over 3 of his guys from Hub, and they are all great builds.”
Players to watch: QB Fed Hill, HB Rocky Point, WR Vince Chambers, DE Davis Lanier, LB Mayor Cianci, KR/PR Henry Hassenfeld
The Radicals make their return trip to WL after they spent 3 seasons in the WL before having a roster turnover and dropping down to CPL. They were stuck in the pros longer than desired thanks to the bottleneck known as S18 CPLwest. Teams included Jebs imo, S19 WL zeta winner Meese and the Radicals. The Radicals did get back to their original CPLeast for S19 and breezed through with a 19-1 record with their only loss to 20-0 super pro team Jebediah’s Oblong Ball Club.
Providence owner Pariah is “from Rhode Island, and lived in Providence for a good amount of time. We were originally the Revolutionaries back in the day, but I like the shortened Radicals, and as a history buff, and a fan of the Revolutionary War, the name is dedicated to the Radicals that fought in the Revolution and helped build America.”
S20 looks to be good unless they gut. “Gutting is always a concern when you have rage like I do.” The team is a collection of Owner Pariah, co owner Donovan Tatum and Head Coach Jdbolick. “Donovan Tatum who builds great dots, and most of all Bolick. In all seriousness this team would suck without him, he has input on all the builds, completely runs the defense, and is a part of almost every decision we make. Great Agent, and great dotballer.”
They have an ad on Craigslist looking for an OC. “We need an upgrade there immediately.” They do have some dots with endorsements who are players to watch. Pariah’s LB Mayor Cianci and chrisko KR Henry Hassenfeld both have corporate endorsements. “It is cool to watch the Sacker Backer (Cianci) clone at work.”
Providence was the top ranked pro team in NiborRis rankings finishing at 6th overall. However, “Zeta is top heavy this season, the Blaze are always one of the strongest if not the strongest rosters in the game, MPHD is a great team, Moose is coming off a silver trophy S19, the Navigators are sick, the Gurupies are a contender, Osaka is strong, and upside down Gart will bounce back...WHY DID YOU ASK THAT QUESTION, I NOW REALIZE WE ARE SCREWED!!!”
Finally, “Don't eat yellow snow with a blue spoon.”
The Osaka Buckeyes
New Recruits: Quite a few recruits...we signed 19 younger/better dots. Our WRs should be better with Toon, Mudbug and Nino coming in. We might have some defensive stars in DT Baron Dietrich Von Oberlitzer and Pass Rushing LB littering and. Quite a few great dots though.
Osaka has become one of the elite SLAP representatives along with MPHD entering their 4th consecutive WL seasons despite “last 3 season each season was in the toughest conference evah! and we were predicted to demote.” They had a “58 game winning streak in season 5-7” along the way up to WL.
S20 Osaka looks to replace former stars “Stanley Rope to retirement...SAPL MVP as a NT and Selfish Gene...fast WR prolly our best WR for 5 seasons.”
Owner 5STAR, Co owner TyrannyVaunt (aka “Tranny”), OC: sigepmagicmike, ElvisTCB and “hsk” are the main agents on the team controlling their AI.
RBs “Marion Barber III known for his “big runs” and Ron Chelmsford are players to watch along with ...”quite a few dots on the brink depending on the SIM”
5STAR believes their team strength is the D. “Defense. TBH we sucked on offense and special teams last season and it cost us some games. If I can get this group moving the ball we will be tough.” The offense looks to improve with additions at WR. Brardor WR Blanco Niño and ryan_grant-25 WR Nick Toon #1 should help this cause.
“We might have some defensive stars in DT Baron Dietrich Von Oberlitzer and Pass Rushing LB littering and. Quite a few great dots though.”
Osaka has a few concerns like “Early season chemistry and finishing games. We had games decided in the 4th vs Blaze, MHPD, HHWC and we failed to finish them” but look for them to be able to navigate through Zeta.
Honolulu Hurricane Wife Carriers
Key Recruits: fbfan's WR TO Time and tjking's WR Judeau Judo, cjx's DE Precious Pony and JoeBarber FS Lemme Holla and blitzing LB So Mag.
Owner ufshowboat and HHWC celebrated their 3rd consecutive WL championship last season. Their 3rd title was “extra special” since they were not fully prepared for S19 sim. “Season 19 saw pretty big sim changes. HHWC played Season 19 with a team built for Season 17-18. We built the team not expecting those huge changes so I think we were really at a disadvantage in terms of the type of personnel we had vs other top teams. That made the 3rd WL gold pretty special. So this season we'll balance out and hopefully be more ready for whatever the bortsim can throw at us.”
They were able to reload for S20 and adapt by adding 2 YAC WRs in TO Time and Judeau Judo. They also dipped into their farm team Three Kingdom Warriors for upgrades. “HHWC has brought in some youth to replace some older players that will now start to decline. A lot of the youth was pulled from TKW and the first season decliners were swapped back to TKW. TKW is our secondary team which accidentally made WL by winning seapl gold. TKW should have a shot at the WL playoffs though as they are comprised of young future HHWC dots mixed with first season decline ex-HHWC dots. TKW is more of a fun team with nothin to lose while HHWC is our super serious team that must win the WL every season or else it's seen as a failure. Having a mix of fun and serious in the WL will make for an interesting year. Both teams have a long history in the WL. Most people know about HHWC now thanks to recent success but TKW has 45+ WL wins and was once a WL championship contender as well. Should be fun season.”
The back to back to back champs still have HurricaneWarriors HB Frank Wang who had over 800 all purpose yards during last seasons playoffs and Joebarber HB Zata Ran who had 100 and a touch in the title game. Ufshowboat feels HHWC has “fantastic offensive line” to open holes for the beast RBs.
The champs aren’t all offense. Their “defense also plays as whole and we really don't feature anybody specific. On bad days we had some problems tackling but most of our moves this offseason were made to really improve any tackling issues.”
The road to WL gold goes through HHWC and LB Dick Wang as it has for the last 3 seasons.
South Otto Fragile Porcelain Mice
Key Recruits: Rooftrellen The Treant Protector (LT), Jessius Camarc, Mitridates de Ponto, White Tomas (DT's), Alec Hardison, Locke M. Down, (CB's), Mean Gene Okerlund (FS).
South Otto are back in WL representing USApro after finishing 20-0 S19. “We were up here in S13 with a team in decline. We tried to re-do the entire roster that off-season and it did not go well. This time we're brings a core that's been together as dots for 12 seasons.”
They have been on WL brink for a few seasons, “It was fun and frustrating. We made the conf. champ game 3 straight years.”
Owner OC mbinger and DC/Co owner nexill, voodeaux does special teams, phoenixstrike does some scouting, and lardaddy keeps us in line. The Mice feel like “We have a great group of agents that have been very supportive.” driftin079 builder of HB Sally Jesse Raphael is the team work horse. “She's one sexy dot.”
The story behind their team name, “I used to work in a small town in NC called Otto (pop. about 750), I lived on the South side. Nexill (my co-owner) found the Fragile Porcelain Mice name from a David Letterman top 10 list for rejected NFL team names from when the Panthers and Jags came into the league. We loved it, so there you go.”
South Otto had to replace a few former stars. “We said goodbye to some very good dots this offseason: Art Shell (LT), Matt Papara (DT). Reggie Kinlaw (DT), Monster Taco (DT), Knockthe Passdown (CB), Randolph Childress (FS) to retirement. We didn't lose anyone this season to other teams.”
Their main concern “Other than being in HHWC's conference?” However, owner mbinger is looking for a playoff game S20.
Carthage Mad Clash
New Recruits: “I think we have about 40”
Best Recruit: “We landed an SLZ dot called hustlers can't pimp”
The Mad Clash enter S20 with a nearly completely turned over roster. They “lost nearly 40. all of them were good.” Owner hays23 saw his team make the playoffs the past 3 seasons. He gives credit to “badgerbacker is responsible for all of our successes and failures.” The team has enjoyed WL success and their team forums reflect that. “i think we had three threads last season.” The agents have been lighting up the team forum this off season as well. “we don't have any new threads yet.”
S20 Carthage hopes to improve “our punting average” and looks to take advantage of their team strength: “people probably don't take us seriously so maybe they don't game plan for us.” Hays23 is excited for crazy454 DE I .Eat QB's who should “have a monster season.”
If the Clash can avoid early losses via chemistry they should be able to avoid demotion as they have shown more than capable already.
Rhode Island Red Wolves
New Recruits: CB Nighthawk and a few solid STers and owner cwrujosh players.
The Red Wolves enter WL for their first time after “pulling a Patriots.” S19 going 19-1.
Owner cwrujosh and Malvado run the team. The strength of their team is “ Defense” led by their standout DE Uno Umenyiora. “Uno is a back to back D MVP of USAPL.”
They also brought STs MVP KR Howard Desmonds to WL.
The Wolves won’t be doing much smack talk in WL forums. “I don't discuss games, win or lose, publically.”
Their team name is also unique. “Wanted a team name from a place nobody used, but in the North of the country. I like the way it rolls off the tounge.”
So Cal BDC
Best Recruits: RB Lawrence Phillips, WR Mr. Ocho Ocho, WR Julio, DE So Thugnificent, CB Dennis Rodman, FS "Fast Eddie" Felson
So Cal has been in WL every season except S13. RyanCane26 LB Jimmy Patterson “was S19 WL MVP but did not get the endorsement.” They also have Hokiemon LB Sweet Child O' Mine who had 29 sacks himself. So Cal is notorious for blitzing. However, “blitzing can leave us exposed. Offense can sputter at times.”
If So Cal is going to take the next step from being a perennial WL playoff team to championship contenders they’ll need “Offense - specifically more big plays”
The story of their team name is “It's simple and to the point. Simply put, its an organization for the non well endowed.”
They said goodbye to a few players including: “Retired: FS Rich Miano, HB Craig "Ironhead" Heyward, FB Ray Doungaet, CB Carl Criams.”
However, “No new DPC = good for BDC” DC Jdros is one of the best blitzing DC's in GLB history.
The team is mainly comprised of “shutd0wn, jdros13, GregB, patrickthedookie, viking65, xcoach2 has a lot of dots again, Nalvest has had a lot of dots in the past couple of seasons but some have retired. For most agents this is not their first or only dot on BDC.”
Fans of BDC can visit their site:.”BDC every so often publishes funny videos outlining their history on their team's website http://www.socalbdc.com.”
Owner shutd0wn is asking the usual question for his team: “Do we have enough firepower on offense” to overtake HHWC. Look for “BDC! Throw it up!”
Chocolate Blaze
New Recruits: “Andre Johnson, TJ kings Kicker, homages super star linebacker, saris's OFB who is the best player in the game , and crazys rushing qb, STers”
Chocolate Blaze owner Dpride59 S20 plan: “win” He feels confident they have a chance at “20-0” after signing Saris FB Mac Olsen “who is the best player in the game.” They also beefed up their WRs with Drew Brees’ S19 Zeta Offensive WL runner up Andre Johnson™ and fbfan18’s WR Cool as the Other Side of the Pillow. QB Malik Rose retained his WL corporate endorsement as well. They also still have the explosive threats of Saris TE Sean Dane and Dpride59 HB Michael Jordan.
The Defense only saw a few changes including: Homage LB Public Pervert and Beeerad37 CB Action Johnny.
The Blaze do have some weaknesses concerning Dpride59 including “Oline jumping” and “Bort doesn't start the season until April, and the playoffs coincide with my trip in may to Tahiti.”
Warsaw Wrath
New Recruits: “We brought in a lot of new blood. A number of JStu's players, and some other guys too.”
The Wrath hope to “Straight up make the playoffs” S20. “The conferences seem to be much more even compared to S19. Hopefully that translates into a few more W's for us.”
They added a few players to their squad. Jstu LB Jack Lambert Stuart and beeerad37 C Tiny Attorney are some of their standouts. They also added DC Kanaan. The core of the Wrath agents include: “slappdogg, Loonzilla, Beeerad37, carbene, JStu, , Kaanan, and kswass.”
Owner glwarriors said, “We merged with slapp's team the Drunk's a few seasons ago, and have managed to stay in or near WL for some time now, and usually land someone in or near the top 10 in WL/PL rankings every season.”
Special teams is both a strength and weakness for Warsaw. Owner glwarriors thinks their punter “Haden Foote - he is going to win us some games.” And kswass KR O Dogg has an endorsement from EEPL. However, “we have no STOP's this season” which is an area glwarriors wishes they were stronger in.
Mentone Beach Assault
New Recruits: QB - Drew Brees, HB - Kendal Hunter, FB - Red "Smashmouth", C - Nick Brophy, G - I AM A BANANA, G - Bowlegged Bushwick Bill, TE - Mr. Plow ThatsMyName, LB - Gary 'In Your Face' Gnu, CB - Jet Black Machine, FS - Seven Seconds
Mentone Beach Assault make their first WL trip after avenging their 2 WEPL regular season losses by significant margins. They lost to the Boston Punks 44-24 and Rotterdam Roughnecks 66-10 but did a 180 during the playoffs crushing them as payback.
Owned by sanmantodd he name his team after “I live in the city of Mentone Beach; however, everyone thinks we're the Beach Assault.” “The core of the team is still together when we started the team back in Season 8.”
Some standout players are sanmantodd’s DE Jared Viking #69 and Dmac2008 DE Ren © and HB Mick Gillicutty . They’re excited about the additions of QB Drew Brees and HB Kendal Hunter. They did lose QB Alexander Orion and hope to improve on passing and have less fumbles from our KR.
Overall WL “You won't even know we're here.” and “We fear no one!”
C-Town MF'n Hood
Best Recruits: Reggie Bush, Wicket W. Warrick, Cato Maddock, You Can Only Hope to Contain Me
C-Town MF’n Hood are back in WL for their second try. S19 in EEPL owner Lemdog said, “We lol'ed reg season and went Hood on fools in playoffs.” Hood lost “Fred Lane, scat HB due to decline” but added scat back Reggie Bush to replace him. Some other players to watch: Ubasstards WR Drunken Basstards, Dmac2008’s RB McFadden ©, jrockk33’s HB Bernard "A-Game" Mitchell, Ubasstards’s LB Jessie Armstead #98.
Hood wanted to add some studs at WR and “done did it.”
Co Owner JTsNiners is excited about his first WL season. “I'm going to try to stick our fucking E-peen so far up everyone's ass they will see our shaft with the naked eye as it exits their mouth. That's a promise, fuck everyone. We're sticking and I'm going to make damn sure when they play against us they're going to say damn, that HOOD squad is BOSS. FUCK EVERYONE THAT LINES UP AGAINST US”
Expect “lots of HOOD” on the forums if you haven’t already noticed.
Three Kingdom Warriors
New Recruits: “brought in more youth to TKW this season by way of the great fbfan18 who we know from way back. We also brought in more youth from good builders like MeatDawk and LoCoElf. However, most of the recruits on TKW are not young guys, they are first season decline dots from HHWC.”
Three Kingdom Warriors aka “kinda HHWC 2.0” are the S19 SEAPL champions and return to WL. They could prove to be a matchup nightmare since “they got nothing to lose.”
This offense features 5 rushers who can all attack from any direction whether in be inside, outside, or via receptions. That threat should also open up the passing game (for QB Chris Leak). So I don't think it will be fun to defend a team like this with nothing to lose and weapons to play with. The defense is led by a nasty front 4 which was very fun to watch last season and I think the secondary should also be a bright spot this season.
Their rushers will be led by PML97 QB _Denard Robinson_, Thunder66 HB COCO > LENO, Joebarber HB AWESOMO 5000, ufshowboat HB J Demps and evesong FB Alstott Wang.
The defense is led by a “nasty front 4 which was very fun to watch last season and I think the secondary should also be a bright spot this season.” Cide DE Lanny Barbie and cjx DE Impakt Device, fbfan18 DE Epic End and datongw DE Yan Yan combined for over 90 sacks.
Overall, “even though a bunch of these guys will be in decline, I think they can still hang and will surprise a few teams” according to HHWC owner ufshowboat.
Jebediah's Oblong Ball Club
New Recruits: HB Sir Lollipop Man, CB Deion "Prime- Time" Sanders and a ST scrub
Jebediah’s Oblong Ball Club (aka Jebs imo) team name is because owner avgbrad “i'm amish”. His team went 20-0 in one of the most anticipated pro matchups when his 19-0 CPL powerhouse matched up against then 19-0 Providence Radicals in the CPL final. OC guru Gturtle called a special 4th and 13 play he had been saving for the playoffs. http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1508550&pbp_id=14547695 “I'm the best OC of all time.” “(did we win by a lot?)” 1. “Oh hey, look at how clutch I am.”
Owner avgbrad built nearly the entire roster himself. Only a few spots he forgot to make or rageretired have been replaced along the way with inferior builds. The team features HB Eric Torkelson and QB Tobin Rote. They did replace Superstar RB + 10 with Sir Lollipop Man for S20. For giggles, owner avgbrad “i watch the OL and lol”

Moose Jaw Roughriders
Key Recruits:
HB (scat) Casca Kyasuka - tjking82
DT Warren Carlos Sapp - whatje
DE Duck the other DE - avgbrad
LB Jonathan Malkin - sidvicious
more dimmy dots
Meese came back into WL S19 after spending one year in the rugged CPLwest and immediately made their presence felt. They opened the season with a monster win against Machu Pichu Hidden Dragons, a pre season favorite amongst the public. Meese made their presence felt and continued success all the way to their first WL conference championship.
Moose Jaw Roughriders “started in Canada BBB, the story has something to do with all the CFL teams that were named Roughriders so we thought we'd carry on the tradition. Moose jaw is a city in canada, real original there!” Now they’re just kind of nicknamed as Meese U Ded.
S20 Meese look to navigate the tough Zeta conference and hope to “improve on a conference winning season. I suppose we'd like to win it all this time around!” But they’re kind of expecting a “10-6” season.
They dipped into their usual team owner dimmy finster dots and also added former Saigon Whore Scat back Casca Kyasuka. They also still have seahawks3726 HB Damion Johnson who was a WL top 10 rusher S19. “Watching this dot spin, and juke and fake all over the place is a lot of fun and very exciting!”
They did say goodbye to longtime team stars HB dimmy finster Jr. and WR Smallstar Seaworthy. However, key contributors including LB Polly Fish (2nd most conference deflections and 2nd most zeta tackles) returns and DE The Crane Kick who SLZMonster calls their team superstar.
Overall, Meese expect to be able to avoid demotion despite landing in Zeta. “I don't think making the play offs will be a problem, but navigating our way through them is gonna be difficult for sure.”
Odessa Mojo
Players to watch: Zeta world league offensive and defensive mvps HB Charley Young, CB Sebastian Buckley, TE Badger Beckum, HB Felix Jones-MVP
Odessa stormed into WL and surprised the public by being the number 1 seed heading into the S19 playoffs. They buried teams with WL leading rusher Charley Young on the ground. He was by far and away the WL leading rusher and became Zeta Offensive MVP. In fact only Tony Sanders (S13) has had more single season rushing yards than Charley Young did last season. This season with a corporate endorsement Young may push for the all time record.
Defensively Odessa wasn’t bad either. Their CB Sebastian Buckley also had a monster year. He led the entire WL in sacks at 62. Buckley also won the corporate endorsement which will only make Odessa that much more of a threat to continue their success.
Odessa did add some players for S20, most notably: HB Spring Heeled Mack WR Heaven Scent LB Griffith Gurifisu who gives Odessa D another blitzing threat.
Team owner hickster97200 credits “several agents that make it easier on the rest of the team are PP, Badgerbacker, tonnyrat, hays 23. they are the wheels on the car that keep it rolling.”
”Top team of the Dotbal Syndicate. Three quarters of the team has has been rebuilt to provide the best dots making Odessa the top of the food chain. . We feel this combo of players that have been assembled will make noise more this season than last. Although we played in Zeta which was the weaker of the 2 conferences we still came up in 1st place our first WL season despite the (EEPRO)criticism and feel this year we will knock the door down.”We will do our best to go further than the second round of the playoffs this season!”
Expect Odessa to be strong contenders in Alpha S20.
District 9 Prawns
D9 is back in WL after a 19-1 demolition of APL during S19. They defeated WWR 19-0 at the time and 18-0 Canton Immortals during their playoff run.
The team enters S20 with major roster overhaul. Technically, they’re the farm team or B team to their networked team Odessa Mojo. D9 owner, PP said “everyone wanted to go to Odessa, since they all believe MadMustaff is a far better owner than I...Amazing how big of a difference having owner and co owner being swapped on the 2 teams matters to agents. It's sad, really, since MadMustaff is a raging alcoholic and all.”
D9 is looking to catch opponents off guard this season. “We are making a commitment to get our blocking FBs & blocking TE more touches this ssn”
The team is networked through their Dotball Syndicate structure. D9 owner PP says they have good camaraderie and their “private forum is about as active as any in the game.”
PP used to own USPL's Green Bay Maulers. “We got to be a top 5 team in the game, but I wasn't enjoying the game anymore for a variety of reasons. Took a couple ssns off to work as a build consultant on a bunch of teams (thanks to all of you guys, seriously, that was a blast...you know who you all were (coughGartAlloyCVHavocPTAndSeveralMoreThatEscapeMecough)
I then got an idea to create a team of agents. We'd all just build our own dots and do almost no recruiting. Bough a team from one of them in the AA Africa, tossed our shit, declining dots on the team and sent blind offers to fill the roster. No intentions of winning, just killing 8-9 ssns until our dots got decent enough to start really playing...and somehow won our way to APL. 2nd ssn there, we decided to actually try. I recruited, we GPed and won APL that ssn. Since many of the agents from the Cincy Shockers system were also in ours, we merged that ssn too, I believe. Ssn 18, I knew I wouldn't be around for most of ssn 19. So, we dropped back to APL and shifted to farm team status until most likely ssn 21.”
If D9 is going to get revenge on the 3 time champs it’s going to have to be in the WL finals. “should have beat HHWC in the POs in ssn 17, 34-7 going into the 2nd half, until the sim decided to keep calling deep passes at a disgustingly skewed rate and handed them 32458934 ints and 34598673938247598342 points to mount one of the more impressive comebacks/choke jobs I've seen. hat tip to HHWC”
Korb Destroyers
Key Recruits: bhall43 CB Capitonas Hallzi and from the other new players we expect real big things from team owner disastermaster WR Michael Floyd, skippyjlo DT Igot Middle,
Korb will be entering their 6th WL season. Team owner Disastermaster actually lives in Korb. “I´m living in Korb and I´m almost perfect in detryoing everything, so the team name was a logical choice.”
S20 Korb looks to be even stronger than their S19 team. “no big losses, all players that are new are better than the ones they replaced.” Korb has one of the larger networks in GLB. “Recruited 2 players, all other positons did go to network players.” “Top farm team are Nordic Skulls in WL, than 5 Pro league farm teams and over 30 farm teams in total.”
“OC Skullkrusher is now in full charge of the Offense, that means I don´t touch our AI and there are no mistakes in it. At Defense Rusty is in full command and for the most part we don´t know what he is doing, but it works.”
S20 Korb will be led by “MLB Peter Atkinson who won WL awards as 2nd leading tackler and 3rd most intereceptions last season, Hb Scoundrel and DE BEWARE OF SHAMWOW IMITATORS.”
Sonic HB Dirty Rotten Scoundrel is a big play waiting to happen. “Everytime he touches the ball there is a possible big play.”
Korb is hoping to win a playoff game S20 and maybe more. “Make the step from top 8 to the top 4 in our conference in regular season and winning a playoff game.”
